Minatomo (East Blue)

For the character from Wano Country, see Minatomo (Wano).

Minatomo-san is a traveling carpenter (in)famously obsessed with repairing any broken door he sees. A native of Wano Country, he left with Shimotsuki Kouzaburou and Furiko 55 years ago and resettled in the East Blue.^[3] One of his relatives, also known as Minatomo, remains in Wano.^[4]

He originated in the SBS as a joke used by Eiichiro Oda to "explain" an art oversight in Chapter 1 (namely, a door at Partys Bar reappearing intact minutes after Higuma kicked off its hinges).^[1]^[5] Since then, the anime has periodically used him as an Easter Egg (not unlike Pandaman) in crowd shots and the like.^[2] Interestingly, he has never appeared in the manga proper, with even an identical carpenter in the Wano Country Arc identified as a separate person.

Appearance[]

Minatomo is a short, elderly man with tanned skin, dark gray hair, and a stern look on his face. He also has a scar on his left cheek. He wears working clothes in varying shades of blue and has a rope tied around his forehead.

Personality[]

Not much is known about his personality except that he is apparently short-tempered and cannot stand broken doors, immediately repairing them when he sees one.^[1]

Abilities and Powers[]

Minatomo is a very skilled carpenter, since he could replace the door to Partys Bar in seconds without being seen.^[1]^[5]

History[]

Past[]

Minatomo was born in Wano Country, but illegally departed from there 55 years ago with Shimotsuki Kouzaburou, Shimotsuki Furiko, and 22 other people.^[3]

After Higuma kicked off the door to Partys Bar, Minatomo saw the damage and, due to his inability to ignore a needed fix, quickly replaced it in the brief time between Higuma barging into the bar and hitting Shanks over the head with a bottle.^[1]^[5]

The following events are Non-Canon and therefore not considered part of the Canon story.

East Blue Saga[]

Loguetown Arc[]

Later, Minatomo appeared in Loguetown to watch the Loguetown cooking contest.^[2]

Warship Island Arc[]

As the Straw Hat Pirates were about to leave Warship Island, Minatomo was shown next to Bokuden.^[6]

Arabasta Saga[]

Drum Island Arc[]

As Usopp, Nefertari Vivi, and Dalton arrived at Cocoa Weed to try to find the only doctor on the island, Minatomo was shown fixing the door of the restaurant belonging to Tamachibi's father.^[7]

Thriller Bark Saga[]

Romance Dawn Story[]

Minatomo joined many others (including Pandaman, Sam, and Motzel) in rebuilding Silk's village after Crescent-Moon Gally's threat was ended by the Straw Hat Pirates.^[8]

Concludes non-canon section.

Trivia[]

Minatomo is one of only two canon characters to have appeared in the anime, but not the manga, the other being Yamon.
